Chapter 687: Chapter 685 She’s Not Dead_1

Jiang Miaomiao let out a helpless smile. "That’s true, this robot of his is perfect in every way, just too stubborn. Once he decides on something, not even a team of oxen could pull him back! What on earth should we do?"

"In his heart, probably only by your side is where he thinks is best." Xia Ningxing answered, then tightened her grip on her hand. "Miaomiao, hold on, there’s still one last medicine, it might just work!"

Xia Ningxing did her best to encourage her.

"Okay," Jiang Miaomiao replied with a smile.

However, Jiang Miaomiao’s body didn’t make it until the last medicine was successfully developed.

A month later, Jiang Miaomiao was once again rushed into the emergency room.

This time, she closed her eyes forever.

Xia Ningxing was also part of the resuscitation team.

"Keep shocking her, why have you stopped!" At that moment, inside the operating room, Xia Ningxing was screaming with red eyes, continuing the resuscitation efforts.

"Miss Xia, please calm down, the EKG has already stopped for twenty minutes, the person is gone," said the doctor, trying to comfort her, but was shouted away by Xia Ningxing.

Having no choice, the doctor had to leave temporarily.

Soon after, they heard the sound of the defibrillator being used again from inside the room.

Everyone couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

"They were really good friends, it’s perfectly natural to react like this," a nurse said sobbing behind her hands.

As doctors, although accustomed to life and death and long since desensitized, they couldn’t help feeling a pang of sorrow at the sight of Xia Ningxing’s emotional collapse.

Once outside, Jiang Bai, who was waiting, immediately ran up to ask, "Doctor, how is Miaomiao?"

The doctor let out a heavy sigh, "I’m sorry, we did all we could but... the person is no more."

"No more? What do you mean no more?" Jiang Bai took a step back in disbelief as if he couldn’t understand what was being said.

But it wasn’t that he couldn’t understand; it was clear he didn’t want to understand.

"Please accept my condolences," the doctor took a step forward, patting her on the shoulder.

"What condolences! I can’t do it!!" Jiang Bai rushed into the operating room.

Inside the operating room, Xia Ningxing was holding the CPR device, her head drenched in sweat that kept dripping down her cheeks, unrelentingly trying to resuscitate Jiang Miaomiao.

The time for resuscitation had passed, yet she refused to give up, as if she could bring the person back to life.

Jiang Bai saw Jiang Miaomiao on the operating table, her complexion pale as paper, without a trace of color, her once lustrous hair now dry and visibly split.

Her body was thin like a reed swaying in the wind.

She lay there with her eyes closed, motionless and quiet. As a robot, Jiang Bai could clearly feel that she wasn’t breathing anymore, there was no heartbeat.

His entire being instantly stiffened.

If just moments ago he still held a sliver of faint hope, now his world had turned utterly dark.

His Miaomiao was gone.

She would no longer rush to his side with a smile.

Feeling someone’s arrival, Xia Ningxing turned around and, shaking, stammered out, "I’m sorry..."

"Miaomiao! Miaomiao!" Jiang Bai ignored Xia Ningxing and, like a man gone mad, ran to her side, holding her body.

"You promised you would stay with me for a lifetime! You can’t break your word! Wake up please!"

"I beg you, wake up!"

"Miaomiao! How could you leave me alone!"

"Open your eyes!"

"Ah!"

Inside the operating room, Jiang Bai’s heart-wrenching, desperate cries kept echoing.

He held her body, crying like a child abandoned in a trash can, or a little animal torn apart by wild beasts.

The sense of fainting kept coming, and darkness began to sweep before Jiang Bai’s eyes, and in the next second, the world spun, and he collapsed.

"Jiang Bai!" His sudden fall shocked Xia Ningxing.

After a check, she found that there was no damage to his parts; it was probably just a fainting spell caused by excessive agitation.

She quickly called for Lu Tingli to take him away.

As for Jiang Miaomiao, Xia Ningxing clenched her teeth and continued the resuscitation.

She couldn’t believe that she had just died like that!

...

When Jiang Bai awoke, he stared blankly at the ceiling above. His mind was incessantly haunted by the image of the girl lying silent in the operating room.

Miaomiao.

His Miaomiao was gone...

Do you know what death is?

It means never seeing her again! Completely vanishing from this world.

Invisible tears kept sliding down from the corners of his eyes, leaving Jiang Bai’s heart utterly cold.

If the person he was supposed to protect was no longer there, then what was the purpose of his existence?

The once motionless Jiang Bai finally sat up, his eyes scanning the room.

At last, he inadvertently found a fruit knife in the drawer.

After getting the fruit knife, he didn’t hesitate for even a second before he aimed it at the position of his own heart.

Although he didn’t have a human heart, his chip was installed there. If he destroyed his chip, it would be just like a human destroying their own heart.

Then, he would be able to completely vanish.

And he would be able to join his Miaomiao.

How wonderful!

Jiang Bai fiercely thrust the knife into his heart—

"Bai!"

Just then, he suddenly heard Jiang Miaomiao’s voice in his ear.

The tip of the knife stopped instantly, just two centimeters from the chip.

Jiang Bai instinctively looked up towards the source of the sound.

The door burst open, and a slender girl ran in against the light. Even though the harsh sunlight blurred her face, Jiang Bai recognized her. It was Miaomiao.

His Miaomiao!

She had come back!

"So, even robots can have hallucinations."

A person who is gone suddenly appearing before you, if not a hallucination, then what?

Jiang Bai couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. Invisible tears slid down from the corner of his eyes once again.

The knife in his hand tightened its grip once more.

"Miaomiao, don’t be anxious. I’ll be with you in no time," Jiang Bai said with a gentle voice, unbelievable warmth emanating as he looked at the blurry girl.

Seeing that he was about to destroy himself again, Jiang Miaomiao let out a sharp scream, "Jiang Bai! You stupid robot! Stop it right now!"

She rushed in front of him with all her might, snatched the knife from his hand, threw it to the ground, and then flung herself into his arms.

The warm touch, the real scent, it made Jiang Bai freeze in place.

He breathed heavily with excitement, his fingers trembling ceaselessly. He cautiously raised his hand and gently prodded her cheek.

He touched it!

He really touched it!

She wasn’t dead!

She truly wasn’t dead!

This realization nearly made Jiang Bai want to cast his head back and let out a long howl to express his current excitement. He held her shoulders, his voice a mix of shock and joy, "Miaomiao? How did you come back to life?"

Jiang Miaomiao met his eyes with a smile, replying, "It’s all thanks to Ningxing. I was in a state of suspended animation, and she insisted on performing CPR on me, and finally, I managed to recover autonomous heartbeat..."
